Abstract
- Abstract  A novel type passive mixing device that causes the three-dimensional flow was proposed. This mixer consists of the integrated capillary bundle structure. And the capillaries ware cross-linked each other. So it is called cross-linked micro capillary filter. The mixing effect of the cross-linked micro capillary filter was calculated by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The fluid behaviour in the fine three-dimensional structure could be analysed by the use of CFD. In the result of CFD calculation, the cross-linked micro capillary filter estimated high mixing effect. Moreover, the mixing efficiency was become higher by change the cross-linked form. The calculation result was decided the form of the cross-linked micro capillary filter. And this filter was fabricated by application of the Deep X-ray lithography. To form the cross-linked capillary, it was operated twice exposures. In these exposures, respectively the exposure stage was tilted to difference angle. The cross-linked capillary filter fabricated in this way was applied to vertical fluid flow operation. This cross-linked capillary filter could hold and transmit the fluid by the switchover of in impressed pressure. Herewith the cross-linked micro capillary filter showed availability as high efficiency mixing device. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
